Est. Production Budget: Undisclosed
Many memorable characters and moments from this cherished classic sitcom can still be recalled today. One particularly memorable scene had Venus Flytrap, another of the show’s most endearing characters, telling Herb Tarlek, who was wearing a tacky argyle-patterned suit, that “somewhere out there, there’s a Volkswagen with no seats.” And it existed. Herb Tarek’s suit, in yet another instance of a vintage television program making fun of itself, was actually constructed from Volkswagen seat covers.

Viewers all over the world are familiar with and adore this cherished classic sitcom, whether they saw it when it first aired, through reruns, or through contemporary films. However, were you aware that there was another candidate to replace Mike Brady? Had it not been for PARAA Studios turning down Sherwood Schwartz’s proposal to cast the less well-known Gene Hackman as Mike Brady, Robert Reed would never have become the character. Does Hackman lose out on playing Lex Luthor if he had been cast as Mike Brady? Maybe Robert Reed gets the role instead of being pigeonholed as the perfect television dad?
